About 31BB

Its largest holdings are LENDLEASE FINANCE LTD 3.7% MAR-31, ING BANK (AUSTRALIA) LTD 5.213% FEB-31 and WEIR GROUP AU HOLDINGS 5.2% JAN-31, and the top 10 make up 21% of the fund. By sector it leans towards bonds & cash (100%).

It is too new to have a full year of performance. With its focus on bonds & fixed income, it is the kind of fund many investors use as a smaller satellite holding alongside a diversified core.

31BB at a glance: strengths and things to watch

πŸ‘ Strengths

  • Nothing stands out against its category.

⚠️ Things to watch

  • Small fund. With $2.0m under management, it is more at risk of being closed or merged than larger funds, and trading can be thinner.
  • Short track record. Listed in April 2026, so it hasn't been tested through a full market cycle.

Worked out from 31BB's fees, size, flows, returns and trend against the 59 Australian bonds ETFs in Australia, to 30 September 2026. General information, not a recommendation.

Is 31BB in a base or a trend?

31BB doesn't have enough price history yet (about 11 months) for a reliable trend reading, or it is a cash-like fund whose price barely moves.

Why it matters: Every ETF moves between bases and trends. Knowing which stage it is in helps decide when to buy a satellite, and when to wait.

At ETF Adviser the core of a portfolio stays invested through every stage, and satellite ETFs are only bought in an uptrend. Members get a weekly update on which ETFs are breaking out of a base and which trends have broken.

Why no chart? Bond, cash and currency fund prices drop each time a distribution is paid, so a price chart makes them look worse than they are. Check the total returns above instead.
